Benefits of technology

The present patent is about a method for automatically detecting congestion incidents in an enterprise network. The method involves collecting real-time network data, executing calculations on the data to compute performance metrics, detecting peak usage time, and identifying congestion incidents based on the metrics. The method can detect similar congestion incidents in different companies and identify root causes of the incidents. The method can also identify outlying subgroups within a group of entities associated with the congestion incidents and suggest remediation measures. The real-time network data used for the method can include data obtained from deep packet analysis, network elements, or wireless controllers.

Problems solved by technology

Obtaining business-level insight and control over the applications, users and devices in modern networks is becoming extremely challenging.
Moreover, they do not perform analysis across multiple disparate networks to yield better insights for any given network environment.

[0101]FIG. 8 illustrates a diagram of an exemplary network, according to one embodiment. Seven switches s0-s6 and network elements h0-h2 are arranged hierarchically. The top switch s0 is connected to the Internet 750, and a manager 701 is deployed in a server in the public cloud and connected via the Internet 750. A collector 702 is deployed as a virtual machine (VM) on a server attached to switch s6. The switches s0-s6 are switches and a controller 715 is deployed as a server attached to switch s5. An active directory server 725 is also connected to switch s5.

[0102]FIG. 9 illustrates a diagram of an exemplary of legacy network including a switch, according to one embodiment. Seven switches s0-s6 (and network elements h0-h3) feed mirrored traffic (as indicated by dotted lines) into a switch 824. The mirroring configuration is static, and as an example may simply mirror the traffic from each switch's uplink. The collector 802 and controller 815 are deployed connected to ports connect...

Abstract

A system and method for client network congestion analysis and management is disclosed. According to one embodiment, the method includes: collecting real-time network data; executing calculations on the real-time network data to compute performance metrics; detecting peak usage time; and detecting one or more congestion incidents, wherein a congestion incident comprises a persistence of one or more metrics over a time window that comprises detecting a proportion of metric values crossing a threshold that exceeds a defined percentage amount, detecting a time-ordered stretch of metric values that exceeds a defined threshold, or combinations thereof.
